The data (which may be incomplete since some districts failed to report or underreported the incidence of crime) revealed a total of 162,734 crime and violence incidence on school grounds or at school-related events. Of all incidents, 46 percent were crimes against property totaling a loss of $23,338,028. Thirty-seven percent included acts of violence against students, school personnel, and others on campus or at school-related events. Seventeen percent included incidents of drug or alcohol abuse and possession of weapons. Of the 15 homicides reported, 2 involved student victims and 1 occurred on school grounds in the daytime. Recommendations include stricter adherence to reporting of school crimes accurately and consistently, and developing a safe school model for the middle-grade level. (Summary modified)
